    Located at the entrance of Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine, a World Cultural Heritage Site "Kumano Kodo". It is also part of the World Cultural Heritage "Kumano Kodo". Pass through the huge torii gate and walk up dozens of stone steps to see the Kokekata Falls falling from the sky.

    Kumano Nachi Taisha is one of the three famous places of worship in Kumano, along with Kumano Hayatama Taisha and Kumano Hongu Taisha. The main hall has a unique architectural style known as the Kumano style, and contains various valuable materials such as the Kumano Gongen Mandala, an important national cultural item, and the documents of Kumano Nachi Taisha. The main deity of Nachi Taisha is Kumano Fusumi Okami. On the 15th of every month, the shrine is cleansed. On that day, the clergy will use mountain spring water to mix amulet salt and wash the Buddha statue. This custom has been passed down for centuries.

    It's a little far from the station and the location is not so good, but there were fewer visitors so I was able to take my time to look at each exhibit. The whale show is not just a performance, but you can also learn specialized knowledge about the species.
